There are non-commercial sites out there dedicated to sexual information, or which include significant amounts of sexual information. As with many other controversial areas, it is precisely these non-commercial sites that are under the greatest threat, IMHO. The large commercial sex sites have sufficient resources to fight things like ISP shutdowns over allegations of illegal material being hosted on a site, or domain takeovers by DHS or similar. Non-commercial sites are less likely to have the resources to fight such actions. Thus, instead of community-built and maintained safe spaces for online sexual activity, we have only commercial sites, many of which are highly explotative. -- Professor Andrew A Adams [log in to unmask] Professor at Graduate School of Business Administration, and Deputy Director of the Centre for Business Information Ethics Meiji University, Tokyo, Japan http://www.a-cubed.info/
